About our shower tray repair in Bay View

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bay View?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bay View

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Bay View

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bay View?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME12 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Bay View?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bay View for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What areas do you cover?

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bay View. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
